Created by Ivo Diaz, the Nomad and Eleven Madison Park mixologist, and resident abuela and Executive Chef Isbelis Diaz. Casa Ora is a family owned and operated Venezuelan-American Fine Dining restaurant located in East Williamsburg. We serve refined farm-to-table plates and modern cocktails. We are focused on bringing the beauty and nature of Venezuela to New York City. In times of political injustice upon Venezuelans, Casa Ora is dedicated to donating a portion of profits to families forced to seek asylum due to lack of human rights resources such as food, clean water, and government protection.
“Starting from the beginning: this is my second time visiting Casa Ora, and I’m still blown away by the incredible and delicious flavors in every dish, in every bite. I’m not sure if it’s because it reminds me of the flavors from home, or because they might even be better but either way, it’s something special. Thank you, Casa Ora, for the amazing work you do in the kitchen. As for the cocktails: I tried the Canta Claro. I wouldn’t say it was amazing… but it was good just good. The wine we had was the Garnacha Rosa, and it was absolutely exquisite. In summary: the food is something everyone should experience. As for the drinks, I’d definitely try more I’m sure there’s a standout cocktail waiting to be discovered. 10/10”
“Incredible food. So unique. Amazing team. Drinks were incredible. It’s the real deal when non alcoholic drinks pack so much flavor. My fiancée and I had an incredible time.”
“My family and I went to celebrate my parents 36th anniversary and my brothers 24th birthday. The staff was amazing. Super quiet for a Sunday. The place is dark and intimate which I loved personally. The FOOD?! 100/10. The drinks? Just as good 100/10. So much flavor in each dish and appetizer. I only got a picture of my paella but let me tell you, BEST paella. I’ve ever had. I’d recommend the shrimp appetizer as well because the sauce with it?! OUT OF THIS WORLD. Most definitely coming back again!”
“The atmosphere felt very intimate, it was dark but inviting and a great spot for a date. Service was phenomenal, they were very attentive and gave great recommendations. The cocktails were a 9/10, I had a spicy mango drink. The arepas were incredible but the number one dish was the bollitos pelones. Highly recommended. The baby shark dish was our least favorite but each dish was plated with care and very aesthetically pleasing.”
“Tried Venezuelan food for the first time and it didn’t disappoint. The whole spot had a warm vibe with a really inviting ambiance. Drinks were flavorful and a little strong in a good way. The food was the star though. The red snapper on tostones was fire, perfect coating and great flavor. The brisket with black beans and egg was incredibly flavorful and the meat was super tender. Overall, a really nice experience.”
